COLONEL WEST comes from the
best representatives of the families of Ham
bletonian and Mambrins Chief His sire and
the sire of his dam both possessed speed aud
the ability to transmit it to their progeny in u
remarkable degree Breeders generally are
seeking sires with either speed or the ability to
get it, But where both elements are combined
in one animal. the blood is douDly valuable

the difference in their Length of life and their

the equal If not the superior of his great broth

ever lived that can make an equal showing,

From his loins have come such great sires as
Almont, Belmont. Woods Hambletnnian. &c &,
&C. All this combination of the bloc of these
greatest sires of these great families iS built
upon q solid foundation of thoroue hbre blood
running back four generations.
Individually, Col. West is all that his breed
ing would indicate-large, strong anu smooth.
with the best of feet and limbs He has never
been handled professionally, but was driven q
in ] Ill He has never had access t' any we'll
bred mares but from ordinary mares he has
sired q class OF roadsters that will command
the attention of buyers. His action is very
fine, and he goes in that grand majestic. COM
manding style that is so attractive to horsemen
As all the sires in his line have been posi-
tive, potent sires, we count on Col. West being
an important factor in the Improvement of the
road horse of this section.
We submit these few facts, hoping IL W ill
cause our breeders to carefully weigh mis- mer-
its and analy re the value of his blood lines. 1t
will be seen that he is not depending upon the
number of lines of Messenger blood. but is full
of the best lines on TOP CLOSE UP. Nor is he
from O. line that depends on an accident that
has cropped out and dependent on some ONE

OF THE MOST POTENT FAMILIES.

with the full privilege of returning In case the
